Watch: Do Republicans blame Trump for high oil prices?

According to President Donald Trump, the Iran war will end "immediately" after US midterm elections and blamed the rising rate of oil on the war.

What happened

After the US and Iran attacked tankers in the Gulf region and Yemen's Houthis hit oil facilities in Saudi Arabia, oil rates rose to $100 (£74) a barrel on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, the BBC's Sarah Smith is at the Republican Party's first midterms convention in Texas, where she asked voters how they think rising oil rates will affect the election. Video edited by Mabel Pickering. You are now after Oil.
